Grid differs from qualifying for 8 drivers: Sergio Pérez qualified 13th, started from the pit lane; Alexander Albon qualified 14th, started 13th; Nico Hülkenberg qualified 15th, started 14th; Logan Sargeant qualified 16th, started 15th; Lance Stroll qualified 17th, started 16th; Liam Lawson qualified 18th, started 17th; Kevin Magnussen qualified 19th, started 18th; Guanyu Zhou qualified 20th, started 19th. The data records the positions, not the reason; such gaps come from grid penalties, car or engine changes, or pit-lane starts. The small "q" number in the Grid column is the qualifying position.
Grid "PL" means started from the pit lane. FL marks the fastest lap of the race.

Gap: the driver's best time in any session (session named), in seconds behind the fastest time of qualifying. That is usually the pole time; when a session gets slower (rain, for example), an earlier session's time can be faster. The bar is full at 3 seconds; larger gaps are cut off.
